Who's reading this page
If you searched "HOA social media," we know which one you are.
Two very different visitors land here. One needs ideas. The other needs a vendor. Both leave with the right answer.
Board members
Looking for ideas to post?
Your management company should be running this — not your volunteer secretary.
If you're a director Googling 'HOA social media post ideas,' you're filling a gap your management firm should have closed. Forward this page to them. The right CAM produces your community's social presence as part of the service — branded, scheduled, compliance-checked.
CAM operators
Producing social in-house?
Social is the most-seen, least-resourced surface in your portfolio.
Every association has a Facebook group nobody's running, an Instagram nobody's posting to, and a board that's about to fill the void with their personal account. Alloy produces branded, on-calendar social for your portfolio — same voice, customized per association, pre-cleared for compliance.
Why CAM firms run social
The most-seen surface in your portfolio. Usually unmanned.
71%
of homeowners say they get HOA news from a community Facebook group — not from board emails or notices.

Channels we run
Four platforms. Each with a job. No bloat.
We don't add channels for the sake of it. Every platform we run has a defined audience and a defined business outcome.
Facebook
Primary channel — community pages and groups. Where most homeowner attention actually lives.
Instagram
Visual storytelling — community spotlights, events, before/afters. Reaches younger homeowners boards struggle to engage.
Nextdoor
Hyperlocal — claim the official voice before a vocal homeowner does. Critical in suburban portfolios.
LinkedIn
Firm-level B2B — thought-leadership for the management company. Wins RFPs, attracts board leads, recruits managers.
The mix
Twelve weeks of posts — built around your portfolio's actual rhythm.
Governance. Community. Seasonal. Trust. Four content pillars rotating on a published cadence — the same backbone for every association, customized in the details.

What you get
The complete social operation, run by Alloy.
Content calendar
Weekly post calendar mapped to your portfolio's seasonality — meetings, reserve cycles, community events, weather risk, dues notices.
Original copy & creative
CAM-fluent writers and designers — not generalists. Every post drafted in your firm's voice and visual system, not stock-template slop.
Brand-system design
One visual system that flexes per association. Your firm's identity stays consistent; each community sees its own name, colors, and feed.
Per-association feeds
Facebook page, Instagram, Nextdoor (where it makes sense). One production run, dozens of customized feeds, one approval workflow.
Compliance pre-clearance
Every post screened for fair-housing, election-period rules, reserve-disclosure language, and state-specific notice requirements before it goes live.
Scheduling & publishing
Posts queued in advance, published on schedule, archived for the record. Managers don't touch Hootsuite, Buffer, or Meta Business Suite.
Crisis & comment moderation
Off-hours monitoring, escalation playbook, and pre-approved response templates so a midnight Karen doesn't become a Monday-morning email storm.
Engagement reporting
Per-association reach, follow growth, engagement rate, and comment sentiment — fed into your retention dashboard so you spot disengaged boards before they churn.
Firm-level B2B presence
LinkedIn for the management company itself — thought-leadership posts that win RFPs, not just engagement-bait.
What this replaces
Four social-media patterns that quietly hurt your firm.
The board secretary's personal account
Half the homeowner base is following an unverified personal page. When the secretary moves, the audience and history go with them. This is a liability, not a strategy.
Canva-template Mondays
Fifteen recycled stock posts in a row about 'community pride' don't build trust — they signal that nobody's home. Boards notice.
Compliance roulette
One ill-worded post during an election period or about a fair-housing-adjacent issue is all it takes. 'We didn't know' is not a defense.
The midnight rage post
An angry homeowner comments at 11pm. Nobody's watching until Tuesday. By then it's screenshotted, shared, and on the agenda. Off-hours moderation isn't optional.
The honest comparison
Board-run vs. Alloy-run.
Onboarding
From audit to first post in 30 days.
01
Audit & inventory
We catalog every association's existing social footprint — orphaned Facebook groups, dormant pages, board-personal accounts that should be retired.
02
System build
Voice guide, visual system, content calendar, compliance playbook, escalation protocol. Approved by your leadership before week one of posting.
03
Production & publishing
Weekly posts drafted → manager review (24-hour turn) → scheduled → published. Comment monitoring and moderation runs in parallel.
04
Reporting & iteration
Monthly engagement readout per association. We trim what nobody reads and double down on what gets shared.
30
days from kickoff to first published post. Audit and admin clean-up in week 1. Voice and visual system in week 2. First posts drafted and reviewed in week 3. Live publishing in week 4 — every week after, your portfolio's feeds keep filling without your team lifting a finger.
Where it lives
A retention engine — not a marketing add-on.
Social Media Marketing is a BoardRetain service because the boards who churn are the boards who feel ignored. A live, branded community feed is the most-seen retention surface you have — and the cheapest one to lose.
The firm-level LinkedIn track lives inside BoardReach — thought leadership that wins RFPs and brings new boards in the door.

Posts ship on schedule
Every association sees branded, on-cadence content in their feed every week — no missed moments, no dead pages.
Homeowners engage publicly
Likes, comments, shares — directors look responsive without doing extra work. Your firm is visible inside the community.
Engagement signal feeds BoardRetain
Reach, sentiment, and comment volume flag which associations are tuning out — months before churn shows up.
Renewal opens warmer
'We saw your post on the reserve study' replaces 'remind me what you do for us?' Renewal becomes a confirmation, not a sales call.
